  • Michelin Makes Successful Return to Competition in Historic Imsa Daytona July Race
    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN MAKES SUCCESSFUL RETURN TO COMPETITION IN HISTORIC IMSA DAYTONA JULY RACE WeatherTech 240 Sees Michelin Restart its 2020 Global Championship Season Daytona Beach, Fla. (July 4, 2020) – Michelin Motorsport made its global “return to racing” one to remember with an exciting IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship event and an historic milestone for longtime technical partner, Chevrolet Corvette. Racing for the first time since the COVID-19 global pandemic brought major international competition to a halt in mid-March, Michelin and the IMSA teams returned to a much different set of challenges at the Daytona International Speedway than found at the season’s first event, the Rolex 24 At Daytona in late January. “In January we had ambient and track temperatures in the upper 40 degrees (F) range, while this week track temperatures reached 109 degrees,” said Tony Ménard, director of motorsport, Michelin North America. “Establishing and following all of the necessary protocols, providing the correct tires, logistical planning and support for the teams was a big challenge in the current environment and we are very pleased that the teams were able to race so hard and so well in very changing conditions.” The 6:00 p.m. scheduled race start was delayed for 45 minutes by a thunderstorm and lightning and the race began in wet, but drying track conditions. Corvette Racing broke through for a milestone 100th race victory in the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) in the GT Le Mans class. Mazda (DPi) and AIM Vasser Sullivan Lexus (GT Daytona) recorded 1-2 finishes in those categories.
